Letter to the Editor - 7/28/22
District #1 Voters,
Let me start by saying please vote on August 2. It’s important! Probably the question I’ve been asked the most recently is what is my reason for running for commissioner? This really wasn’t something I was thinking about early in the year and then as deadline approached to file, I began to get calls from numerous people asking me to please run. When I asked them why should I run? They all had their own reasons why and they were different from one another. People weren’t happy with how things were going!
I would have a lot to learn as would anyone jumping into this position. My promise to the people of our county is that I would get the training needed to fulfill these duties. To always keep what’s best for our community and people at heart. We have a great, safe place to live, work, and raise our children.
I think being a Farmer/Rancher, A Wife, Mother, Grandmother and bookkeeper for our farm gives me an advantage to understand hard work, negotiate with people (even if it is your children and grandchildren) and analyzing data to learn what is profitable and what needs worked on.
Please don’t hesitate if you have questions to contact me! I humbly ask for your vote on August 2.
Becky Larson
